Nothing definitive happening in new Hampshire at the moment...

Of course, I hope you've all heard by now about my Night of Legends event this Sunday in Warwick, RI. (details on www.neplayerpromotions)

Beginning to talk to agents about the next event, which I would like to bring back to the Nashua/Manchester area. That'll be sometime in Feb. probably....we've got a couple of different ideas in mind and will be committing to one or another shortly...I'd love to drop some names of who we've been talking with, but I assure you the next one will be a lot of fun no matter which direction we decide to go in...more info on that will be coming after this weekend's event is in the books.

Hello everyone after getting some much needed rest from a long fought season that ended way to early, it is time for me to start once again focusing my efforts on something e very important to me. As many of you know I lost my father to diabetes when he was only 48 years old. Since I have started my journey into the NFL I also began my journey to help find a cure and help others with diabetes. As I enter my 6th year in the NFL I am so proud to say that I am also entering my 6 year of fundraising. Last year was such a blessing and we were able to raise over 100 thousand dollars that went directly to the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) in Miami Fl. This year I have started the Vince Wilfork Foundation in an effort to support DRI and other organizations in their efforts to win this battle over diabetes. It seems like everyone I talk to has been effected one way or another by this disease. By coming together we can make a difference. I know that times are hard right now and that is the case for everyone but for me as a person who does not have diabetes I can only imagine what times are like for someone who does. As many of you know Pinz in Milford has become the official home of the Vince Wilfork Draft Day Fundraiser and once again this great establishment has opened their doors to all of us. It is my hope that you will join me in this fight. Please log on to www.pinzbowl.com for ticket and event information. If you are unable to attend but would like to contribute in another way please send me a email. As many of you know I answer all of my email myself. If you do nothing more than send your well wishes and forward this email on to others who may help, you have also helped. Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you or hearing from you soon.

Vince's DD Party at Pinz is something I highly recommend checking out - it's a great venue and was a lot of fun last year. Not sure who Big V will bring along this year, but last year's guests were Kevin Faulk, Ty Warren, Lonnie Paxton and Ellis Hobbs. Hope to see some planateers there this year - if you're going and want to have a beer PM me!

Gil Santos and Gino Capolletti are going to be doing a talk at the Pats Hall of Fame in late April. I saw the one with John Hannah about a month or two ago. It was quite cool! And he signed autographs...no problem. And fielded questions. I'll get a link for the Gino and Gil information....April 23rd, 6:30

http://www.patriot-place.com/thehall.aspx

Anyway, when Hannah did his talk, in the auditorium at the hall of fame (where they have the ongoing Pats 15-minute video), he answered alot of questions. I asked him if the rules for how a lineman (offensive or defensive) could use their hands changed during the years he played. First he said no, but then remembered how happy he was that the defensive lineman could only slap an o-lineman Once in the face, instead of over and over again...he was pretty happy about that rule change!

Then he related a story about how once in a while, a safety would speed through the offensive line toward a quarterback. But Hannah said he got wise to that...and started sticking out his arm to smack the safeties hard, right down onto the ground, and then they stopped their blitzes....he loved smacking the crap out of those little safeties, he said! But I think he said the nfl outlawed his stiffarm smacking of the safeties...

I'm sure Gil and Gino will have alot of good stories. They do have a book out, and I read alot of it. Good stuff. I'll try to make their talk.
